Also, you can download iTunes for free from Apple to try without having an iPod. Take a test drive with it and see how it works. This may help answer some of your questions. http://www.apple.com/itunes/overview/

Hi! You need to download iTunes on the computer, open up an account with them and buy the music you enjoy.

Not True! You don't have to use iTunes. I used to use Winamp with the iPod plug-in. A bonus, Winamp and the plug-in are free! I would recommend iTunes for uploading though, it's easier to use than other programs and will also rip CD's that you own.

While Audible.com cost money, I bought this player (over IPod knowing an IPod is *FAR* superior) because the library near me allows free viewing only if the device supports Windows PlaysForSure media format.Translation: If you buy an IPod the device is great but the books are costly. If you buy this, the device is OK, but the books are *free*.

Yea, that's what I meant. The ipod touches that are purhcased after today will haev the Applications installed.I wonder if any of the ones on amazon have any pre-installed. I don't feel like paying $20, but I don't want to jailbreak without knowing full details.---EDIT:Hmm.. i see the price dropped some more. maybe they are compensating with a $20 price drop. Let me ask CS and find out.

You have to download movies, videos, music clips or whatever u want to add to it but im not going to lie and tell u its simple! I googled reviews and found someone giving step by step instructions of how to do it and i got it done but for the price its worth it. My two kids love it!

There is no software with this machine at all. You can connect the machine to your computer or Ipod with cables the machine has ports for that. Then if you wanted to download something to play on the machine you would need internet access for your computer or Ipod to do that. In other words the computer/ipod has the music and it is being played on the machine through the speakers. There is no computer inside the music machine.

Any files that you have on your touch can be downloaded to the shuffle using iTunes...so the answer is Yes!

Help - anybody. I bought an 8gB i Pod so I could copy music to my hard drive using i Tunes and then copy to the i Pod, so that i could listen to my music, already bought and paid for.When i Tunes captures the CD, if it shows the title and all the names of the tracks I can successfully get it onto the i pod. But if it simply shows eg. 10 tracks with no artist or track names it will not copy to the hard drive.Question: are some CDs copyright protected in some way? If they are it seems a shame as all I want to do is play the music on a different medium

Actually, that is why I returned it an got one with a CD player. At first, I thought that I could just place my CD's into Itunes, and then put them onto an SD card and it would work the same. However, they needed to be transferred from the new mp4 format to mp3. When that was all said and done, it didnt even work. So, I do not know honestly, as I was so frustrated by reading that they wanted me to buy all of their SD cards and I wasnt having any luck. I would recommend just returning it and getting one with a CD player, or if you have an ipod or iphone-burn your CD's into Itunes and then sync them to your device so that you can play them from that.

Hi Mely_May, I recently purchased the 32GB Ipod Touch 5th Generation, Wow What a machine, Yes you can create Playlists with the device or on your computer and just drag then to your device I recommend doing it this way so you have the playlist available for your computer and your Ipod, I would also suggest the 32gb version if you plan to watch movies, or Tv shows since they can be stored on the device. Hope this Helps. Brian

You can buy music from any source you want. From my experience, itunes is the best music manager for the ipod, but as far as buying music, you can download it from anywhere.

Thanks!! You answered the specific question I had in mind: downloads from limewire. Its one of the main reasons I was hestitating on the ipod. I wasn't sure how restrictive it was (like, can you only upload things onto it from itunes, etc.) But now I know. THANKS!!!

No it isnt just for kids..we have a blast with it. You dont need an ipod to use it...it plays regular cds as well as cd+g cds (which is usually what karaoke cds are formatted as)
